Not long after Ye Ling had drawn out the dark power from Bai Ling's body, Bai Ling slowly regained consciousness. She happened to see the entire Tian You Prison filled with black mist!
The bone-chilling aura made Bai Ling shiver. Her somewhat hazy consciousness instantly cleared under the stimulation of the dark power!
"Wh-what in the world is going on? Why has the dark power invaded here?" Bai Ling looked at the dense black mist around her with a face full of terror, instinctively moving closer to Ye Ling, her entire being filled with extreme panic.
Ye Ling glanced at Bai Ling and noticed that she didn't seem to have any memory of being controlled by the dark power. He didn't bother explaining what had happened earlier to Bai Ling and replied, "It's likely the work of the Moon Wheel Saintess. This dark power is aimed at us, and currently, she's the only one who knows we're in Tian You Prison."
Ye Ling hadn't sensed the aura of the Seven Star Pillars within the black mist, meaning the Seven Star Pillars hadn't come here.
Since it wasn't the Seven Star Pillars who had come, the remaining enemy could only be the Moon Wheel Saintess who had escaped from here.
The World Annihilation Spirit Fire curiously asked, "Kid, is the personality controlling the Moon Wheel Saintess that bold? She's already escaped but wants to come back and die!"
Ye Ling was indifferent, "Who knows? Perhaps the consciousness derived from the dark power is all one-track minded and acts without thinking?"
The World Annihilation Spirit Fire immediately put on a stern face, "Kid, watch your words. I am also a consciousness derived from the dark power, and I don't agree with what you're saying!"
Ye Ling, however, chuckled, "With you as an example, I'm even more convinced that my guess is correct."
The World Annihilation Spirit Fire: "You!!!"
While Ye Ling and the World Annihilation Spirit Fire were bickering, Bai Ling nodded earnestly again and said to Ye Ling, "Indeed, the Moon Wheel Saintess mentioned before that she was from the Nine Heavens Emperor Palace, and the one here was just a substitute."
"Now that she's killed her way back, she probably wants revenge, right? What should we do then?"
The World Annihilation Spirit Fire interjected, "Kid, since that Moon Wheel Saintess is from the Nine Heavens, it means she's one of the top figures in this Nine Heavens Realm's pyramid. She might know things we don't. Do you want to capture her and interrogate her?"
When the World Annihilation Spirit Fire said this, it hadn't considered the possibility that the enemy might be stronger than Ye Ling.
Ye Ling, who had now fused the two opposing forces of extreme yin and yang, and had also absorbed the Eighth Star Pillar, no longer feared the Seven Star Pillars. How could he fear their subordinates?
Ye Ling nodded and replied, "That's what I was thinking. If I can't catch the Seven Star Pillars, I can save someone who is active in the Nine Heavens Realm. It's a good opportunity to get some intel from her."
After speaking with the World Annihilation Spirit Fire, Ye Ling signaled Bai Ling to remain calm. He then looked up at the dense black mist descending from above and shouted, "Moon Wheel Saintess, I know you're here. Show yourself willingly, don't make me do it myself."
"Chosen One, your perception is quite sharp."
Not long after Ye Ling shouted, the Moon Wheel Saintess emerged from the black mist. She looked directly into Ye Ling's eyes, a faint smile on her lips, her expression utterly contemptuous.
At this moment, the aura emanating from the Moon Wheel Saintess was close to that of a Chaos Master. It was clear that her true form had descended from the Nine Heavens!
Ye Ling glanced at the true form of the Moon Wheel Saintess and asked, "Should I call you Moon Wheel Saintess, or something else?"
The true consciousness of the Moon Wheel Saintess was in a deep slumber. The personality currently controlling the Moon Wheel Saintess should also be a secondary personality derived from the dark power, not the Moon Wheel Saintess in the true sense.
Seeing Ye Ling ask, the Moon Wheel Saintess chuckled, "Since you're so eager to know, I'll reluctantly tell you, so you can die with clarity."
"I am Balgor, a capable subordinate of the Third Star Pillar Lord, responsible for the erosion of the First Heaven."
"Balgor?" Ye Ling was taken aback and asked the World Annihilation Spirit Fire, "Have you heard of this person? Does he have any significant background?"
The World Annihilation Spirit Fire replied bluntly, "Never heard of him. He's probably just some common fodder found in the Chaos Battlefield. Don't worry, go ahead and do it! I'll cover you if anything goes wrong!"
"I understand."
Ye Ling nodded slightly, his gaze towards Balgor suddenly becoming playful.
Balgor, unaware of the conversation between Ye Ling and the World Annihilation Spirit Fire, thought she had gotten lucky today. She smiled at Ye Ling and said, "Originally, I just wanted to do my job honestly, but I didn't expect to encounter you, the Chosen One!"
"All seven Star Pillar Lords have issued a warrant for your arrest, alive or dead. If I can bring your corpse back to the Third Star Pillar Lord, I will surely rise in prominence!"
Hearing Balgor's answer, Ye Ling's eyes lit up, and he excitedly asked, "Since you know I am the Chosen One, have you reported my location to the Seven Star Pillars? When are they coming?"
Balgor was momentarily stunned by Ye Ling's sudden excitement, but she quickly recovered and sneered at Ye Ling, "If you were at your peak, I would naturally invite the Lords. But now... you endured that explosion and must be severely injured like the Lords, with less than ten percent of your strength remaining!"
"Currently, the Seven Star Pillars have important matters to attend to in the Nine Heavens Realm and it's not appropriate to disturb them. Dealing with you, a defeated opponent of the Lords, is enough for me to handle alone."
"So the Seven Star Pillars aren't coming... what a shame, I got excited for nothing." Ye Ling sighed with some disappointment, seeing that Balgor hadn't reported his location to the Seven Star Pillars.
He had thought he might be able to deal with a few of the Seven Star Pillars here, but it seemed that idea was no longer realistic.
Bai Ling, on the other hand, didn't understand Ye Ling's reaction and asked him doubtfully, "Shouldn't you be glad that the boss on the other side didn't come? Why do I feel like you're very disappointed?"
In Bai Ling's opinion, being shrouded in dark power, they should be grateful just to escape.
She truly couldn't imagine what kind of scene it would be if the mastermind behind the invasion of the Nine Heavens Realm were to appear here!
Seeing Bai Ling's confused and worried expression, Ye Ling couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head, saying, "You just stay put behind me. With me here, nothing will happen."
"You..."
Bai Ling looked at Ye Ling's smile, even more bewildered. She couldn't understand why Ye Ling could smile in such a crisis!
The dark power filling Tian You Prison was a strength she had never encountered before!
She had a premonition that if she were to touch even a wisp of the surrounding black mist, she would be utterly consumed in an instant!
However, for some reason, Ye Ling's smile had a powerful infectiousness that made her feel incredibly at ease in the perilous Tian You Prison.
It was as if, as long as Ye Ling was here, nothing would go wrong!
Gradually, Bai Ling calmed down.
Meanwhile, Balgor, facing Ye Ling, felt greatly insulted when Ye Ling was busy talking to Bai Ling and completely disregarded her. She gritted her teeth and shouted at Ye Ling, "Chosen One, don't be too arrogant! I am still in front of you!"
Boom!
With Balgor's angry roar, the surrounding black mist began to churn, transforming into ferocious beasts that surrounded Ye Ling and Bai Ling!
Each of the beasts at the bottom of Tian You Prison emitted an aura far exceeding the Supreme. Their terrifying pressure seemed as if it would crush the entire space!
Feeling the pressure from the surrounding beasts, Bai Ling, whose mood had slightly calmed down, turned pale again. She instinctively moved closer to Ye Ling, trembling, "Ye-Ye Ling, each of these beasts looks stronger than me... can you handle it?"
The World Annihilation Spirit Fire on Ye Ling's wrist taunted, "Tsk! Look at this country bumpkin, so spineless, scared stiff by such a small scene."
"Kid, stop playing around. Quickly deal with this Balgor and leave this place. I haven't seen the full picture of the Nine Heavens Realm yet."
"Mm."
Ye Ling nodded slightly and said to Balgor, "Your name is Balgor, right? Since you're so eager to die, let's make it quick."
"Make it quick?" Balgor let out a scoff, "Chosen One, to dare say that in front of me, Balgor, you truly have courage!"
"I want to see just how capable you really are!"
